At DRD, when it comes to mouse food, we focus primarily on variety, animal protein, forage value, and how well the food aligns with the natural eating behavior of mice.

Why choose a varied mouse mix?

Mice are active, curious animals that enjoy searching and gathering. A varied diet complements this well. Instead of just eating pellets from a bowl, mice can recognize, move, and carry various components to their stash. This makes feeding more interesting and adds more enrichment to the daily meal.

Nature Muis contains, among other things, wheat, peas, beetroot, carrots, seeds, raisins, mealworms, nuts, and herbs. This variety creates differences in scent, texture, and taste. That is precisely what makes this food fun for mice who enjoy playing with their food.

Because it is a complete food, Nature Muis can be given as a daily staple. However, it remains important to closely monitor what is actually being eaten. With mixed food, some mice may pick out their favorite parts first. Therefore, it is better to give an appropriate daily portion and only refill when the food has been largely eaten.

Mealworms as a source of animal protein

Mice naturally eat not only plant parts but can also utilize small animal protein sources. The mealworms in this food therefore make the mix particularly interesting for mice. They provide variety in scent and taste and fit well within a varied mouse diet.

This is practical for pet owners: the animal component is already incorporated into the daily mix. Therefore, you do not need to immediately supplement separately to offer some animal variety. If you do wish to add extra variety, you can do so with suitable mouse treats or animal proteins, but always keep the total amount of extras small.

For which animals is Nature Mouse suitable?

• Mouse: suitable as a complete daily diet for fancy mice. Mice are social animals and are kept together with other mice of their species; therefore, adjust the amount of food to the number of animals in the group.

This food is intended for mice. Are you looking for food for hamsters, gerbils, rats, or other animals? Then it is better to choose a food that suits that species and their daily diet.

Feeding & use

The correct amount depends on the size, age, activity, and composition of the group. As a practical guideline, you can assume approximately 6 to 10 grams per mouse per day. Because mice are social animals, for two mice, you should therefore calculate at least around 12 grams per day for the group.

Provide the food in a food bowl, scatter some through the bedding, or hide small portions in a foraging area. This immediately turns feeding into a natural foraging moment. However, do check regularly to ensure that no old stashes are left lying in damp spots.

Foraging with mouse food

Nature Mouse is very suitable for stimulating foraging. You can scatter part of the daily portion through the bedding, place it in a cardboard roll, hide it between hay or paper nesting material, or offer it in a small foraging container.

Mice often enjoy searching for food and bringing it along. You can make good use of this behavior to make the day more active. Don't put everything in one pile, but distribute small amounts throughout the enclosure. This keeps your mice occupied longer and makes feeding less predictable.

Composition and analysis

This composition is suitable for a varied mouse diet with plant-based components and mealworms as the animal component. The mix is suitable for owners who not only want to feed mice, but also want them to search for and collect them.

Save

Store the food in a cool, dry, and dark place. Close the packaging tightly after use to preserve the smell, taste, and texture as much as possible. It is best not to buy too much food at once if you only have a small group of mice.

Because mice eat small portions, a 400-gram package often lasts for quite a while. Preferably use a tightly sealable storage container once the bag has been opened.

Good to know

Mice like to hoard. Therefore, check occasionally to see if there are any old stashes lying in damp places. This keeps the enclosure fresher and gives you a better idea of what your mice are actually eating.

With mixed food, mice may have preferences. Therefore, do not refill too quickly when only the favorite parts are gone. Provide an appropriate portion and closely monitor the total intake, condition, and activity of your animals.

Would you like to add more enrichment? Then combine the food with foraging toys, tunnels, deep bedding, nesting material, climbing opportunities, and safe hiding places. This way, the enclosure is not only filled but also truly interesting for your mice.
